*bullshit about killing Softimage because of 3 apps to develop. why buy in the first place then.*
That's pretty much the best argument against the morality and integrity of AD and their clueless strategies. How many products have they bought and killed? I remember the dirty tricks they pulled with 5D Cyborg to acquire the technologies for a fire-sale and ward off other interested parties. It's hard to think of anything good that has come of this behemoth.
